@d3rrlck I'd like to give you a hearty welcome to this thread! Your post on the DIY buzz reduction / Mummified Ember was exemplary! If this tests well with other Ember's (and I'm sure it will), then by golly this is going to be nothing short of the ultimate buzzkillA buzz-free revolution where us tube owners no have to rely on asinine methods such as running a thick wire into the bathroom our out the window, electrical rewiring, inline limiters, etc.![]()
Was this your own idea? If so, I really think we owe you a reward of some kind. Your reputation is off to a great start on this site!
Can't wait to see someone else test it out, and if all goes well I'll be on board too.
So this led me to googling about "EMI shielding" in which I learned about the Faraday cage. So to test this solution on ember, I started with aluminum foil which I eventually replaced with aluminum mesh cage (because I could not stand the look of the aluminum foil lol)

Well I for one prefer the simplicity of the foil solution to the 'jail' solution. @d3rrlck, would you say the foil solution was able to minimuze the buzz as well as the jail solution? (assuming each solution in their best setup). If not, how much better/worse was the result with the foil solution, audibly?

@jaywillin you said you tried the foil solution. But was it done the same way as the photo above? If not, would you mind revisiting that to try again - see if maybe it lasts longer than 30 seconds? (notice that wire also); of which can also be connected to one of several other areas including the top of capacitors, RCA jacks or the negative power connection.
Thanks for you guys continued work on the buzzing Ember. Sense I have gotten my Ether C I have been amazed at the sound quality of the amp. But unfortunately the sound quality of the buzz was increased as well.![]()
